Specifically, since the interfaces of different community websites or micro-blogs cannot be unified, the user has to be re-adapted to the interfaces at each time, and the operations are felt to be complicated. Alternatively, since the display frame is limited but multiple application programs or websites have to be opened frequently, the user has to log in and out frequently. More particularly, if the same event content is posted on different community websites or micro-blogs at the same time, the information cannot be integrally obtained at a time, and the user is forced to distinguish the browsing order and tends to sacrifice or ignore a portion of messages, thereby indirectly affecting the willingness of use.
- Some manufacturers have tried to collect the information of different community websites or micro-blogs using software or programs, and list the information in a frame for the user to browse. However, such the display method with the text descriptions and the annotated time only can sort the events according to the order of occurrences. It is difficult for the user to instinctively have the impressions for the starting time, the ending time or the elapsed time of the event, and the user cannot judge whether the events overlap with each other. So, it is disadvantageous to the handling or programming of time. Thus, this kind of software only can be referred to as the information software, which cannot provide a good information integration method.
- This disclosure provides an information integration method and a touch display device using the same, which can collect and show the information of the community websites or micro-blogs on a single frame, so that the user can browse the information conveniently without the complexity of switching between different interfaces. In addition, the method of displaying the information can let the user intuitively handle the starting time, the ending time or the elapsed time, so that the user can further judge the relative time relationships between the events and the information integration effect can be indeed achieved. In detail, this disclosure is also adapted to the integration of the schedule information of the calendar, for example, to display the scheduled events, such as appointments, in the frame. Thus, it is further advantageous for the user to integrally browse or program his/her own schedule, thereby increasing the time utilization efficiency.
- The information integration method and the touch display device using the same according to the disclosure are adapted to the working with the orientation sensing technology to individually display the event information coming from different community websites, micro-blogs or application programs by way of orientation change. Thus, the disclosure provides the user for the touch and the more direct operation mode that can be easily judged, so that the user can rapidly and targetedly browse the required information, and the unnecessary interference can be reduced.
- An information integration method applied to a touch display device comprises the steps of: displaying a time indicating unit on the touch display device; obtaining at least one event information; and displaying the event information as at least one information display unit on the touch display device in accordance with time data associated with the event information and in correspondence with the time indicating unit.
- A touch display device comprises a touch display module and a processing module. The touch display module displays a time indicating unit.

In detail, theinformation display units time indicating unit 311 in correspondence with the time represented by thetime indicating unit 311. Thus, the user may easily feel the time advancing, and can additionally move thetime indicating unit 311 and theinformation display units 314 to 317 leftwards to serve as the elapsed time so that the real-time updating effect may be obtained. -
FIGS. 4A to 4C are schematic illustrations showing display frame changes on a touch display device whose orientation is changed according to another embodiment of the disclosure. Referring first toFIG. 4A , the touch display device E′ ofFIG. 4A according to this embodiment displays a plurality of information display units representing a plurality of sources of different event information, and the sources of the event information may include a first source and a second source. Herein, the first source is the community website Facebook corresponding to theinformation display unit 115; and the second source is the micro-blog Plurk corresponding to theinformation display unit 114. In addition to the element structure of the electronic device of the above-mentioned embodiment, the electronic device E′ further has an orientation sensing module OM, which may sense an orientation change event and output a signal to theprocessing module 2. - Therefore, when the user wants to rotate the touch display device E′ rightwards, as shown in
FIG. 4B , the orientation sensing module OM senses a first orientation change event, and outputs a first signal to theprocessing module 2 so that theprocessing module 2 controls thetouch display module 1 according to the first signal and switches the display frame into the frame solely displaying the event information provided from the micro-blog Plurk. That is, as shown inFIG. 4B , thetouch display module 1 only displays theevent display unit 114. - As shown in
FIG. 4C , if the user rotates the touch display device E′ leftwards, the orientation sensing module OM senses a second orientation change event and outputs a second signal to theprocessing module 2, so that theprocessing module 2 controls thetouch display module 1 according to the second signal, and switches the display frame into the frame solely displaying the event information provided from the community website Facebook. That is, as shown inFIG. 4C , thetouch display module 1 only displays theevent display unit 115. - Of course, the implementation of this technology is not restricted to the type of the orientation sensing module OM, and this technology may be embodied as a gyroscope, a three-axis accelerator or a G sensor. The rotation angle of the touch display device E′ sensed by the orientation sensing module OM is also not restricted, and may range from 20 to 60 degrees, and is preferably equal to 30 degrees. In addition, after switching, the display frame may be fixed and is no longer affected by the orientation change. Alternatively, after returning to the original orientation, the display frame switches back to the original state. The disclosure is not particularly restricted thereto.
- Also, before rotation, the
touch display module 3 may also be modified to display a third source of the information display unit, so that the user can see the data contents between the rotation angles. The third source maybe, for example but without limitation to, the schedule record in the calendar. -
FIG. 5A is a schematic illustration showing operations of a touch display device for receiving touch events according to another embodiment of the disclosure.FIGS. 5B and 5C are schematic illustrations showing video frames displayed after the touch display device ofFIG. 5A receives the touch events. Referring toFIG. 5A , the touch display device of this embodiment similarly has the element structure and the technological characteristic of the touch display device E shown inFIG. 1B , and thus can receive the touch event through the touch display module. After the touch display device receives a touch event, inputted by the user, through thetouch display module 5 and outputs a signal, the processing module zooms and/or expands aninformation display unit 514 in accordance with the signal generated by the input event. In this embodiment, the touch event may be, for example but without limitation to, the event that the user operates thetouch display module 5 in a single-point or a multi-point manner. - More specifically, the single point manner includes clicking, touching or pressing, and may further cover the displacement of a distance along a straight line or a curve after the contact. For example, the single-click and single direction sliding, the single-click and clockwise sliding or the single-click and counterclockwise sliding can be performed on the
touch display module 5. The multi-point manner may be, for example but without limitation to, performing the multi-point and single direction sliding, the multi-point and clockwise or counterclockwise sliding or the multi-point radially outward operation or multi-point inward contraction on thetouch display module 5. As shown inFIG. 5A , the operations of two fingers sliding in different directions to perform the touches on thetouch display module 5 and within a region to be zoomed or expanded may pertain to the multi-point radially outward operation. -
FIGS. 5B and 5C show two different aspects of zooming and expanding of theinformation display unit 514, respectively. InFIG. 5B , because the user executes the touch event in the specific region, the region and its neighboringinformation display units 514 are zoomed, so that the user can easily view the data (i.e., the data transferring or receiving history to/from the remote server) contained therein. InFIG. 5C , the user directly clicks multipleinformation display units 514, so theinformation display unit 514 can expand a menu to show the associated internal data after receiving the input event. This is the same asFIG. 5B , and can achieve the further viewing effect. - However, it is to be specified that the zooming or expanding of the
information display unit 514 does not intend to restrict the extent and the number of times. For example but without any restrictive purpose, the relatively important data can be zoomed or expanded at a first time, and the specific data can be reviewed or more data details can be shown after another touch event. In addition, although the above-mentioned two aspects only display the specific source ofinformation display unit 514 after zooming or expanding, all information display units in the region or the selected information display units can be zoomed or expanded in another non-restrictive embodiment. -
FIG. 6 is a schematic illustration showing a display frame of a touch display device according to another embodiment of the disclosure. Referring toFIG. 6 , the touch display device of this embodiment is the same as the touch display device of the above-mentioned embodiment, and may also receive the touch event through the touch display module. So, the user can accordingly input the touch event to call or start the specific application program, software or instruction, and thus to edit the information contents of the information display unit. - Specifically, as shown in the drawing, the user can, for example, provide a touch event, and edit a
data display unit 617 representing bathing event information to add an associated message of bathing a dog therein, or to add the funny photo or sound in bathing therein in the form of multimedia files and show the information by way of image files, specific symbols or icons. Therefore, when the user makes the similar clicking or touching, the files recorded in or around theevent display unit 617 can be zoomed and displayed. - Of course, the object to be edited is not restricted to the event information associated with the calendar, and the event information provided by the micro-blog or community website may also be edited. In addition, the editing process is not restricted to the addition of the data, and may also include deleting or adjusting the data contents. The forms of data are also not restricted to the above-mentioned forms, and other data such as drawings, photos, images, music, coordinates, memos or data contents may also be applied. Thus, the rich records and display contents can be provided to the user, and may be outputted as pictures or texts, or recorded into diaries.
- Referring to
FIG. 7 , this disclosure additionally discloses an information integration method applied to a touch display device. The information integration method includes the steps of displaying a time indicating unit on a touch display device (S71); obtaining at least one event information (S73); and displaying the event information as at least one information display unit on the touch display device in accordance with the time data associated with the event information and in correspondence with the time indicating unit (S75). The technological characteristics and implementing details of this information integration method are substantially the same as the technological characteristics and the operations of the method used in the touch display device of the above-mentioned embodiment in integrating and displaying the event information. So, references may be made to the above-mentioned contents, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted. - Compared with the prior art, the information integration method of the disclosure and the touch display device using the same have the following advantages. Using the time indicating unit as the reference can get rid of the conventional trouble of the user caused by only converting the time into a series of numbers when listing the information, so that the relative time relationship between the events in the integration results can be more easily compared, and the integration results can easily form the time impression. Meanwhile, the integrating method of this disclosure is more suitable for the combination of the externally obtained information with the built-in schedule, so that the user can handle the information more easily through the special display arrangement. After combined with the orientation sensing technology and the editing technology, it is convenient for the user to easily and selectively display the specific source of event information, for example, when the user goes outdoors or operates the device by one single hand. Meanwhile, various multimedia information may be integrated into the information display unit by additional inputs, thereby making the contents become richer.
- Although the disclosure has been described with reference to specific embodiments, this description is not meant to be construed in a limiting sense. Various modifications of the disclosed embodiments, as well as alternative embodiments, will be apparent to persons skilled in the art. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claims will cover all modifications that fall within the true scope of the disclosure.
